    About this ebook

    Using a microwave oven to cook a meal sounds easy — but the truth is, thousands of new microwave owners are quickly disappointed when their early efforts don't "come out" the way they expected. The reason is nearly always the same: they haven't learned (or haven't been shown) the basic techniques of the new method and how they differ from conventional cooking. As a result, many simply abandon the microwave as a method of cooking meals from scratch, and just leave it on a corner of the worktop to be used now and again for "heating things up."

    First Steps In Microwave Cooking was written to fix that problem. Using step-by-step instructions on how to cook a wide range of simple, everyday dishes, it provides a basic "training course" that the microwave newcomer can follow to learn the few skills required for confidence and success. Numerous re-prints, nationwide press coverage and sackfuls of appreciative mail received by the original publisher showed that this book is exactly what the new owner needs to get his or her own microwave revolution under way.
